DISPENSING LAB EL-HOLD ER.

Patented Nov. 20, 1906.

Application filed February 21. 1906- Serial No. 302.210.

The object of the present invention is the provision of a label-holder adapted for holding labels, tickets, or other cards or sheets, especially adapted for holding druggists labels, which will be adapted upon manipula-' tion of keys by the operator to dispose the labels so that the operator can at once obtain the desired label.

The invention contemplates the'provision.

of a label-holder and dispenser of the character set forth which may be rapidly and easily operated, will be adapted to accurately bring the desired label to the proper point to be taken by the operator, and which will be dealarm when the operator operates any key which controls the delivery of a poison-label, thereby calling attention to this particular kind of label and guarding against dangerous mistakes.

' The invention contemplates the provision of label-holding wheels or drums of novel construction, improved key-operated clutch mechanism for operating the drums, novel key-operated stop mechanism for arresting the turning of the drums in the necessary.po-. sitions to deliver to the desired point thedesignated label, improved automatically-o enmg positioned for delivery, and improved and novel alarm mechanism which will sound when a key controlling the-delivery of a poi-- son-label is actuated.

The invention is set the novel features are recitedin the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure Us a front view of the complete machine; Fig. 2, a section on line a b of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a section on line 0 (Z of Fig. 1; Fig.4, a section on line e f of Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a detail illustrating the position and construction of the stop-pin uides and the arrangement of the stop-pin roles in the drum; Fig. 6, a view illustrating the door-operating mechanism, and Fig. 7 a detail of the alarm mechanism used in connection with the poison-label keys.

doors to display the label which has een forth hereinafter, and

The operative parts are inclosed in a casing 1, in which is suitably journaled a shaft 2,

- having cones and ball-bearings 3 interposed between it and the label-holdin drums or wheels 4, which are loose on the s aft72. As many of these label-holding .drums may be employed as found convenient to accommodate the labels required in the particular business in connection with which the device is used. The label-holding drums are divided into a plurality of compartments 5, in which are removable drawers 5, having springs'5 I to hold packs of labels, all labels of the same kind being held in a given drawer. Springs one for each compartmentare secured- 'to the drums and hold the drawers 5 therein.

Secured to the side of each label drum or wheel 4 is an annular ring 6, and secured to the shaft 2 is a clutch-wheel 7 ,having inclined pockets 8 and turning close within the ring 6. In the,pockets 8 are loose balls 9. This construction provides, a friction-clutch which permits free turning of the label-holding drums independently of each other and independent stoppagethereof.

The side of each drum is provided with a series of stop-pin holes 10, arranged in spiral form, these 0 es corresponding in number to the compartments in the drum.

Secured to the'casing 1, two being employed for each label-holding drum, are stoppin-holding strips 1 1, having together a num-' ber. of stop-pin-guide holes 12, corresponding.

to the number of stop-pin holes 10 and the number of compartments in the 'drum. The

holes 12 are arranged at an angle-of substantially forty-five degrees to the horizontal."

Sto -pms 13, having bent ends 14, are shdab y mounted in the stop-pin-guide holes .12, and the bent ends 14 arepositioned to be received in the proper ones of theholes 10.

The arrangement is such that onthe actuation of a given stop-pin it selectively'engages the proper stop- 1n hole 10 and arrests the turning of the rum 4, solthat the proper compartment holding the desired label will be in the proper position for delivery to the operator.

Separate keys 15 independently control the various stop-pins, there being as many keys for each drum as there are stop-pins and compartments for that drum, so that on operating the proper key the proper stop-pin will select the sto -pin hole which'will bring the desired labe -compartment in proper position for delivery of the label the operator I may desire and which is indicated on the key in question. Each key is rigidly connected to a bell-crank lever 16, which is piv otally mounted at-17, and is connected by a rod 18 to a spring-bar 19, which is pivoted at 20, the upper end of the spring-bar being connected to the key stop-pin at 21 Positioned adjacent each poison-key is a spring-contact 25, projecting freely from an insulating-block 26 and having .a bindingpost 27, which is in circuit with an electric bell 28, via a wire 29, with included battery 30, while the bell is also in circuit with the metal frame of the machine by circuit-wire 31. When a po1sonlabelkey 1S operated, it touches the contact and closes the electricbell circuit, the bell continuing to ring as long as the bell is depressed,'and thus indicating the dangerous character of the label sought.

Secured to the shaft 2 is an annular clutch member 40, and turning loosely on the shaft and located within this clutch member 40 is a clutch-wheel 41 having inclined pockets 42, in which balls 43 are lOOSGlY POSltIOIIGd. A

key 44 is connected to the wheel 41 by the lever 45, pivoted at 46 to a rod 47, connected to lever 45.

In the frame 1 opposite the respective drums 4 are hinged doors 50 in front of openings 50 in the casing in'front of each drum. The doors 50 are hinged at 51 and have anglepieces 52:, operable by levers 53, pivoted to casing 1 at 54 and connected to the s ringlevers 19 by springs 55. Springs 54 ho d the levers 53 in normal position. Allthe springlevers 19 are connected by individual, springs -55 to the lever 53, which controls the doors sto pin 13.

for the drum 4, operated by that set of keys. The drums 4 are provided with holes 56 one for each com artmentinto which a pin 57 may be pushe by the operator to lock the drum when'it has been checked by the proper n operating the machine, suppose it.isde sired "to obtain a uinin label, the operator first depresses t 1e key 44, which causes the parts '40iand 41 to become clutched, thereby turning the shaft 2 and causing the various clutches which actuate the label-drums to all clutch the'irdrums andgive them a turn on the ball-bearings 3. The operator then depresses the: key bearing the word Quinin v and-'inidoing so causes-the stop-pin 13 to be projected, and as soon as the hole 10 corre sponding to the quinin label compartment comes in line with the actuated stop-pin 13 the stop-pin snaps into said hole by the action of'the spring-bar 19, thus immediatelyarresting the drum with the quinimcompartment opposite one of the doors 50, which thereupon automatically opens, and the operator ca'n' obtain the-label. Before releasing the quinin-key the operator pushes in. the pin 57 to lock the drumwhere stopped. The pin 57 is pulled out after the label is obtained, so the drum may be subse uently operated.

Having thus describe my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let 'ing the rotary label-holder at desired points,

said means being adapted to lock the labelholder against rotation when engaged therewith.

In a dispensing label-holder, the combination of a plurality of independently rotatable and arrestable label-holders, independent automatic clutches for the respective rotary label-holders, means for actuating said clutches to rotate the label-holders, and means for independently arresting the rotary label-holders at desired points.

3. in a dispensing label-holder, the combination with a rotary shaft, of a rotary labelholder mounted to turn freely in respect of the shaft, an automatic clutch for clutching the label-holder to the shaft but which permits arresting of the rotary label-holder without arresting the rotation of the shaft,
